Chapter 509
Just then, thunder sounded in the skies, followed by a strike of white lightning.
It seemed to have struck Jasper to the ground, making his entire body numb and fixed to
the spot. Only
his heart remained tossing and turning in turmoil.
“How long has she been joining you on your hikes, Mr. Forrest?” Jasper inquired
restrainedly as if he were
suppressing some emotion.
“For the past three years now, actually.”
The past three years.
That meant since the start of their marriage.
Jasper’s heart lurched once again. Bile filled his throat, flooding his senses.
Alice… Alyssa …
Jasper came to realize that Alyssa had been keeping that from him all these years, even
though they were
doing the same thing.
While Jasper had his own reasons for his actions, he couldn’t help but wonder about
Alyssa’s motivations.

His head throbbed painfully. All these lies and secrets were driving him insane!
“Oh dear. The rain’s a-coming.” Elijah glanced at the gray clouds gathering above the
mountains and got
his walkie-talkie out.
He said, “Elias, it looks like a thunderstorm is on our heels. Please have the team be extra
careful during
the patrol, especially Alice! Over.”
“Don’t worry, sir. Over,” came Elias’ reply.
Jasper’s jaw was clenched worriedly. He turned and ran right into the park.
“Mr. Jasper, where are you going?” Elijah cried.
Jasper kept running, with only five words on his mind right now-“I need to find her!”
The sky darkened considerably as thunderclouds gathered as far as the eye could see. It
felt like the sun
has taken a holiday.

Blinding strikes of lightning crackled through the sky as the wind picked up, howling in the
rangers’ faces.
“Damn it!” someone cried, “We already warned these hikers about potential
thunderstorms! Why did they
still decide to go on a hike?”
“Let’s just focus on the present, shall we? Our duty as park rangers is to keep the hikers
safe no matter their personal decisions!” Elias yelled through the torrent of rain and wind.
“Over here, Mr. Parker!” Alyssa called, noticing a hiker’s phone caught between some
rocks.
“It must have belonged to that missing hiker! We must be on the right track!”
Elias noticed how fast the weather was turning south. If they continued staying there, they
might be the
ones in danger next.
He hurriedly instructed, “Split into two formations! Ms. Alice and Team A will go north with
me while
Team B heads west!”
“Yes, sir!”
The raincoat and windbreaker Alyssa had on were nothing compared to the violent tearing
of wind and
rain. She was shivering right now. Even her breath came out as a wispy mist.
The two teams went on their separate ways to search for the missing hiker. It was a dense
and large
mountain, paths nearly indistinguishable from one another in the torrential rain.
“Help … Help me! Help me!”
“The hiker is nearby. I can hear her already!” Alyssa announced, stopping to gauge her

more clues as to where the hiker might be.
The other rangers shared looks of shock. They wondered if Alyssa had a supersonic
hearing or something.
“Be careful!” Elias cried, running toward Alyssa when she ran straight to the source of the
call.
Alyssa used her torchlight to guide her way, focusing on that weak cry for help just now.
She had found herself at the mercy of this mountainous terrain once upon a time, so she
hoped they found the salvation they needed just like she did.
After some time, she finally found the hiker who had lost their way, leaning against an
inclined ledge.
“Stay right there! We’re here to help!” Alyssa cried. “Are you okay? Can you walk?”
“N-No…” the hiker cried, clearly in pain. “My leg is stuck… It hurts…”
Alyssa gritted her teeth, about to climb down to help her up, but Elias stopped her.

“This is the steepest, barest face of the mountain, Ms. Alice! The rock might give way at
any moment under this rain! Let me go in your stead!”
The hiker suddenly screamed, “Ah! Help me!”
Alyssa watched as the rock under the hiker’s feet crumbled, making her slip further
toward the ledge.
Things were critical right now.
“The ledge can’t support any more weight right now!” another ranger cried.
